Important Award for Hamilton High School

Hamilton High School has been presented with a prestigious statewide award after first being chosen as one of six regional recipients.

The “Spirit of Excellence Award” presented by the Wisconsin Association of School Councils (WASC), recognizes schools "that achieve excellence in leadership, sportsmanship and service to their school and communities."

The award required that schools submit a detailed portfolio explaining their achievements. The portfolios were then judged by a team of leaders from Wisconsin.

In front of the entire student body at an all-school assembly, "Student Council representatives were presented with a banner and trophy" and the high school was "recognized by WASC-(Wisconsin Association of School Councils), the Association of Wisconsin School Administrators and by (WIAA)-the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association," according to the Hamilton School District.

"Further recognition will take place during an awards presentation at half-time of the March 20 Milwaukee Bucks Game, at the May 8 WASC State Senior High School Conference in Green Bay, a promotional spot during the WIAA State Boys and Girls Basketball tournament and continued recognition on Fox Sports Network throughout the year," the school district reports.
